As the Apple Turns: Scene 1063: Rallying the Troops (10/7/98)

Rallying the Troops (10/7/98)

Okay, Apple seems to have gotten their "issues" straightened out with regard to the upcoming Mac OS 8.5 Demo Days, for which they're looking for volunteers. A new site has been set up where interested parties can sign up to don a snappy free Mac OS 8.5 polo shirt and head on down to the local CompUSA to demonstrate Apple's latest and greatest operating system release during its premiere weekend.

According to MacCentral, there are even a few paid positions available, so there's a possibility of actual material gain, in addition to the warm, tingly feeling you'll have from the knowledge of a job well done. But if you want in, you'd better hustle; slots are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis and the definitive deadline for volunteering is this Friday.

So if you've got some free time during the weekends of October 17th and October 24th, and you'd like to help Apple sell its new product, sign up. You'll have to answer a short questionnaire about your knowledge and experience, and of course there's no guarantee you'll be picked, but even though CompUSA's made some progress in getting Apple-savvy salespeople into their stores, nothing beats a rabid volunteer.

1062: Edging Ever Closer (10/7/98) How many of you out there in TV Land like your news to be boring and unsurprising? Because the "Redmond Justice" trial may be postponed once again, which fact we consider to be about as stunning as if we heard that "some people are having trouble with some new Microsoft software."...
